Forward passes

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the biggest problem with forward passes is the stupid backwards out of the hands rule. If the ball is caught ahead of where it was thrown from then it should be a forward pass irrespective of whether they tried to pass it backwards or not

Beyond stupid.

Never post again.

The worst forward passes are the 'Cammy Smith specials' from dummy half.

I can live with the odd forward pass getting missed in an attacking pkay when things are going at a hundred mile an hour.

It's the constant forward passes from dummy half that shit me as they give too much momentum to attacking runners.

But seeing as Smith is referee boss nothing is going to happen about that.
A little biased against Cam there mate?
They all do it not just Cam.
I agree with you, for eg in a flat out play up the middle it's hard to judge. But when a player is half tackled & throws a massive forward pass to the support runner I fail to understand why one of the officials can't see it.

Panthers fans only care if it happens against them :D

Still, when will Archer come out and say the ref got it wrong like he did when we benefited vs Penrith?

I look forward to his display of consistency on this issue.
Untwist your g string Tommy. This one didn't decide a game.

It's stupid for wanting passes that go forward to be called forward passes? I think it's stupid that everyone complains about forward passes but think it's stupid to call passes that go forward as forward passes.

And for everyone saying it's ok because of physics, well that's like saying spear tackles are ok because of gravity

I think it might be time for you to take a break mate.

What has gravity got to do with a player being lifted up off the ground? That's going against gravity. No lift, no gravity.

Passing is different. You simply can't pass the ball without having physics effect it.

Lol....I didn't complain either, but cmon dude admit it was a little forward

It happens every game

I'm sure I could go through and find plenty of shit the Dragons got away with too.
Fifita strip for instance
That should've been a penalty and a sin bin
That was way worse than a ball going forward
Feki was going to score regardless

if that is what the Dragons are using as an excuse then they deserve to get done by a team who played way worse.
